Thanks, Meng, for the opportunity to give some input into this. I use Sonar as a songwriting tool as well as a recording and mixing tool. As such, my number one ask is for the ability to seamlessly add and delete measures from the middle of a project, and drag sections around, having the TEMPO as well as all the clips and controllers follow everything around. Right now the only way to delete measures and close up the hole is to literally have a clip in every single track where you want the deletion to occur.
Some other wish list items:
- Add a tempo track to the track view window and replace the cumbersome to edit stepped tempo entries with a standard envelope. It works for MIDI cc's so I don't see any reason it shouldn't work with tempo as well.
- I often bristle at the limitation of adding plugins either before or after the Prochannel, but cannot put them within or use PC modules before and after other plug-ins. This would easily be overcome my eliminating the plug-in bay and creating a PC module that can be populated with any vst effect.
- Certain folder options should follow the project folder - for instance import and export audio should default (or have the option to default) to the project folder so when I bounce between different songs I don't have to chase the folder structure all the time, too.
- Ability to use the scroll wheel on my mouse to control any control I'm hovering over
So I've hit my limit of 5 - very excited to see what the future holds.
